[Intro]
Teardrops will fall tonight
Teardrops will fall

[Verse 1]
I read your letter, oh now, tears fell from my eye
All of your promises didn't, nothin' but lies
I turn your photograph, oh. face to the wall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight, well
Teardrops will fall

[Chorus]
Teardrops will fall tonight 'til I can't hide
Tears that I tried to keep down, deep down inside
Tears fall and love is gone beyond recall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
You know what, teardrops will fall

[Verse 3]
I'm going to pray tonight, Lord, hoping you will hear
Maybe you're right, after all now and dry each tear
I sit alone tonight darling hoping you will call
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Well, teardrops will fall, oh

[Outro]
Teardrops will fall tonight
'Til I can't hide
Tears that I tried to keep down
Deep down inside
Tears fall and love is gone beyond recall
